Thrift Store Find

I love thrift stores. I could spend hours browsing. I admit, I have a penchant for the tacky. It's not unusual for me to think, "This is so ugly, I have to have it." However, sometimes I find something that is actually cute. Like, these bird mugs.

Cute, right? I was so excited to find the set of four because they were just loose at Goodwill. There's a cardinal, a painted bunting, an eastern bluebird, and one bird I'm not quite sure of. Can anyone identify that blue-ish gray bird in the front?

Great find. A pretty way to enjoy some coffee or tea. Perhaps it's a mockingbird? It's the TN state bird.I'm a google fanatic and I found your cups pretty quick - they are Fred Roberts Co. made in Japan pedestal cups from the 1960s.

Mandy- Haha. Awesome. I really like those chicken bowls. The ones that just look like a chicken sitting on a dish and then you can lift the chicken up and store things inside. That's not a very good description, but maybe you know what I'm talking about.

NRB- thanks for the info! I think you're right; it might be a mockingbird. And thanks for the googling. I just looked it up myself and am now disappointed that I didn't find all six! Maybe they will turn up soon :)
